In condemnation of the Boston Marathon bombings today, Obama said, “any time bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it is an act of terror.”
Embarrassingly, Obama inadvertently described his own drone war as terrorism, given that he “counts all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants, according to several administration officials,” and has rejected the stipulation of disrupting an imminent threat of attack as a prerequisite to dropping bombs on large groups of unidentified individuals.
This is just wordplay until Holder prosecutes Janet Reno for the Waco firebomb murders.
Return to the drone attacks at weddings, funerals or just hanging out with friends, how do you think survivors of US drone blasts respond to seeing their lives literally shattered and destroyed? Needlessly losing your loved ones compliments of US Empire terrorism is a very bitter pill to have to swallow. Becoming easy to hate America as your eternal enemy, the human response is to want to get even, seeking revenge and avenging the tragic deaths of those you loved.
Yes, this Friday will be the 20th anniversary of the Federal government's mass-murder of its own citizens (with the tacit approval of the Texas State government). I hope Mr. Raimondo or somebody here will do a piece on that.
Scott Horton without fail has an anniversary show: scotthorton.org. He has several interviews on Waco, Weaver, Move, at Antiwar.com/radio. Start here: http://scotthorton.org/?s=waco&x=-1239&y=…
Guest, if you drop me your address at akeaton@antiwar.com, we have some copies of Justin Raimondo's"In the Flames of Waco" left.
…except in Damascus when Washington's latest batch of "Freedom Fighters" set them off. Then when the Syrian government takes the violent measures any sovereign state would to put a stop to such foreign back terrorism, Washington's apologists who cheer on the destabilization of Syria pretend to care about "human rights".
Indeed, Obama targets thousands of innocent civilians and kills them. They are Arabs living
thousands of miles away. Our president has no moral center, as Noam Chomsky has said.
It's very frightening to me, since my tax dollars are enabling this "monster" to keep on killing.
And all those "neo-liberals" are cheering him on!
Obama condemns himself. Say, would Israel's targeting Gaza be construed as "terrorism?"
Ironic isn't it! because he's intelligent enough to know exactly what a thorough hypocrite he is and that MANY of us see him for what he is. That's gotta hurt hahaha, real bad. Those words must have cut the inside of his mouth when they came out. Unfortunate as the bombing was, it was the one situation that held the mirror to his face.

“counts all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants"
In that drones lack magical gender testing ability and military-age has been shown to cover everything from very young to very old, a better catch all phrase would be he "counts all bipedal hominids in a strike zone as combatants".
He is talking about American citizen.., the other color children or man or women or elderly that killed by us mercenaries or us drones, or us militarism are not "civilians".., the live in another country.
Shame on you liar and baby killer. The black war criminals are as savage as white if not MORE.
Wipe them all off the whore house.
No sooner did the words escape Obama’s mouth, when I immediately thought of the 11 innocent Afghan children killed by a bomb just two days before Boston.
